The improved sensor and imaging processor decrease the effect of moiré and aliasing, gives you a better dynamic range and decreases the noise level.
LOW LIGHT SHOOTING
canon 5d mark iii - Improved ISO range and performance in low light is most likely one of the most exciting features of the potential iii. Set up Mark ii was very good in low light, once you shot towards the top ISO of 6400 you had been really pushing the digital camera to the limits. The top ISO from the Mark iii is 25600 and based on various tests, it is best in low light by two stops when compared to the Mark ii.

BUILD, CAMERA BODY AND LAYOUT
The digital camera body also has slightly changed with the Mark iii. It really is more rounded and it feels simpler to hold within your hand. As an example where on the Mark ii there is bare plastic, we now have rubber making the grip more secure. The weather-proofing has been improved. Your camera no longer only shoots on CF cards but in addition on SD cards and possesses both slots under the same hatch. Photographers can make use of this for backup, shooting and recording on both cards, even saving them on several formats. Layout, design has changed a bit too. The ability switch is now on top left from the camera, more readily found. The mode dial features a “lock” function that protects you from accidentally changing the shooting mode. Next to the shutter release button there exists a new multi function button that it is possible to assign whatever function you need. The LCD also is a little bigger at 3.Two inches and pictures are easier to see, specifically in sunlight.
AF SYSTEM
Another exciting feature of the Mark iii is the focusing system. The Mark ii had just a 9 point autofocus system and was one of the camera's limitations. The Mark iii comes with an astonishing 61 point autofocus system and is also qualified to discover the focus faster as well as in all circumstances, even when there's a lot of sunshine. It can focus on a topic and stick to it even when it moves across the frame. HDR

The Mark iii is capable of doing recording three images and merging these phones get yourself a high dynamic range image. The camera will record the 3 shots as well as the HDR processed image. You might also need the option to shoot RAW and JPEG images simultaneously meaning you'll have three RAW files, 3 JPEGS and the processed image.
CANON 5D MARK III MOVIE MODE
Obviously individuals were expecting Canon to offer uncompressed output with HDSDI or HDMI but Canon failed on this point. Though the new 5D includes a top quality All-I and IPB interframe compression. It is also able to shooting slow motion approximately 60fps at 720p. A fresh built in headphone socket also lets you monitor audio in the better way. An active View/Movie Turn on a corner (like about the 7D), accelerates movie activation. If with the Mark ii you might only skyrocket to 12 minutes prior to deciding to had to press record again, the maximum clip length is 29 minutes and 59 seconds.
These are the main features and improvements that'll be selling points for DSLR shooters that are considering the upgrade. If you are a indie filmmaker or even a seasoned photographer the chances are you will discover these improvements worth the more money. Canon's 5D Mark ii has revolutionized the indie filmmaking world and possesses made DSLR video shooting mainstream.
